BEEF ON DAIRY SIRES AUGUST 2024

Page 1


THE SYNETICS BEEF BREEDING PROGRAMME

Select the most suitable SYNETICS’ beef bulls to cross with your dairy cows and enhance profitability!

With a significant proportion of beef production in many countries coming from dairy herds, dairy farmers are increasingly interested in producing higher value calves from dairy cows and the most likely way is to pay attention to selecting the most relevant beef genetics and, to some extent, the most relevant beef bulls to suit each herd or beef industry.

Of course, the first criterion for choosing your bull is to ensure that the cows are pregnant. All our bulls are tested on dairy cows to gather progeny testing information and are not selected if they do not reach our minimum fertility level. With this prerequisite met, you need to focus on calving ease, growth and efficiency, carcass weight, carcass conformation, carcass yield... All these traits, if combined, will help you to produce beefon-dairy calves that buyers will value and that will generate greater profitability on your farm.

This is our common goal introducing you our new Beef on dairy catalogue, which includes 11 different breeds and 70 bulls selected to suit all types of production, whatever the age or slaughter weight, the breeding environments, or your own preference.

The entire range is available in conventional and some bulls are also available in male sexed semen. If you want to develop the right Beef on Dairy strategy for your farm, your SYNETICS UK Breeding consultant or SYNETICS UK Beef consultant, Dan Ingham, are here to help.

Breed: YPERIOS INRA95 A.I. Code XB9998

DAN INGHAM, SYNETICS UK Beef Consultant, says:

The YPERIOS breeding really stood out on every farm we visited. Whether used for the increased fertility or to maximize calf quality every breeder highlighted excellent results. We mainly focused on the YPERIOS INRA95 cattle, a composite breed bred specifically for terminal crossing. Being a breeder of continental cattle it has always been hard to grasp the value of yet another breed entering the market but after seeing these cattle in the flesh it is hard to argue at the quality & performance they bring to the table! It was interesting to see the YPERIOS INRA95 bulls used not only on dairy crossing but also to bring added value to beef bred suckler calves in a commercial setting. The YPERIOS programme is most definitely one to keep an eye on for the future, on arriving home and speaking to a number of UK breeders it is evident that the reliability and consistency of the YPERIOS sires is second to none helping them grow in popularity.

I have since ordered straws of YPERIOS INRA95 and can’t wait to see the results!
